Pulled Pork Recipe

I love pulled pork and I am so excited to share this recipe with you. This is one of the best pulled pork recipes ever. It’s made in oven, with fall-off-the-bone, tender and juicy meat that is packed full of delicious flavors. The meat is smoky as I smoked the pork in a stovetop smoker. This recipe so delicious and tastes just like best BBQ restaurants! This recipe is adapted from my friend Slap Yo Daddy BBQ.

How To Make Pulled Pork

There are many ways to make pulled pork, for example: crockpot (crock pot) or slow cooker is the easiest method. You can also use an Instant Pot, oven or a smoker. For this recipe, I used an oven and then smoked it using a stovetop smoker.

Pulled Pork Ingredients

Bone-in pork shoulder Homemade dry rub Apple juice Apple cider vinegar Brown sugar Louisiana hot sauce Liquid smoke BBQ sauce

First, I marinated the pork shoulder with dry rub, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, hot sauce and liquid smoke overnight or best for 24 hours. The next day, I topped the marinated pork shoulder with a bit more dry rub and brown sugar. The pork shoulder should be wrapped tight with a few sheets of aluminum foil. To make sure that the pulled pork is tender and fall-off-the-bones, it’s best to roast it on low heat at 250°F (121°C) for 6 hours. However, if you don’t have much time, you can certainly increase the temperature to 350°F (176°C) and roast for 3 hours. To serve, shred the pork and serve with BBQ sauce.

Smoked Pulled Pork

I love smoke pulled pork. If you have an indirect smoker, you are guaranteed to have the best results. I do not have a smoker but I used an indoor stovetop smoker with great success. I used oak wood chips to smoke the pork shoulder, but you can use apple wood, hickory wood or a combination of both.
